I just find the extra tentacles I've grown so unsightly LMAO!!! I don't even wanna go into the balding issue between that and the potential for overgrown nose hair...yeah where did I put that paper bag of mine

I totally understand how you'd like to grow it out. Trouble is if you don't keep it in order, your Mum will notice and make an appointment. My younger step bro has really gorgeous curly hair, but because of his work, he has to keep it under control. My oldest step bro has hair longer than most women I know! he's got an Ozzy sorta groove going on with his do ya know? ha ha says he's gonna shave it all off I hope not

Actually, (sorry for being scientfical here), all fancies were selectively bred intially. It isn't the fish itself that is the genetic mutation, but there were maybe 2 fish with the mutation that the breeder liked. (For example a ranchu). He would keep breeding the 2 fish until all fish that the 2 mutations made were dorsaless. Then the breeder would breed the offspring and so on. So yes the ranchu we know today is a genetic mutation, but it is the norm for the breed. So a genetic mutation for the modern ranchu would be having a single tail.Sorry for being a know it all...just thought that may clarify some things up.

Ranchuandorandaluver, this surely is not the case, please post more, if thhere is anything you want to add, everybody here is happy to update his/her knowledge. Please never be scared to sound like a "knowit all" LOL. Just post whatever is on your mind.Thanks for sharing

Makes sense Clementine has a mutation, she has semi-telescope eyes for a common with that little glass ball over it which I don't see on Sunshine! Does that make sense? Ha, maybe I should get some photos of it
